Dear Haudenosaunee Six Nations Confederacy Council:
Further to your discussions with the Provincial Representative, David Pelerson, on
behalf of the Province of Ontario, | am pleased to be able to confirm that the Province
intends to convey titie to the Six Nations of the Burtch lands, specifically:
Parts of Lote 2, 3, 4 and 5, Range 2, East of Mount Pleasant Road, City of Brantford
(formerly Township of Brantford), County of Brant.
The provision of the Burtch lands would be taken inko account in any future claim
‘seifiements. Prior to conveying these lands the Province is required to perform
necessary due diligence and preparatory work in order to ensure that title and other
land related issues are addressed appropriately. | will also be working toward obtaining
necessary approvals.
As you can appreciate, these are practical issues that must be addressed in any
‘conveyance of file and are in no way intended to undenmine the Province-s
‘commitment to providing these lands to the Six Nations in good faith.
The Minisiry of Public infrastructure Renewal would be pleased fo arrange a meeting
between yourselves and ministry staff to discuss the details of the conveyance. Carol
‘the Deputy Minister for this ministry will be your contact. She can be reached at
